Every team hopes to put themselves in a position to not only compete, but hold their spot in the Premier Madden League. What is a teams realistic ceiling in season 1? How good can each team be with their current roster, user, and divisional foes? Or how badly can things fall apart?
Lets dive into the AFC South
Colts: CB
Titans: Dlloyd
Jaguars: Tbandit
Texans: Keraun
Colts
Ceiling: 10 – 7
I think it is possible for CB to get a taste of what winning feels like this cycle. Even as early as season one if he can bring over the same excitement he has for his real life favortite team on to the virtual field. It will be important to turn his QB Richardson into a beast. With CB knowing all things Colts he will already have a plan ready to roll by the time week 1 in PML comes around. -KingMike
Floor: 3 – 14
Things can go bad quick in Indy. We have not seen CB in his bag yet, leaving some to wonder if he even has a bag. For all we know CB could be exactly what he has shown us and if that is the case he will continue to have sub 5 win seasons. I dont see this as the case, but that is the floor. -KingMike
Titans
Ceiling:8-9, miss playoffs.
Dlloyd has inherited his favorite team in the Titans but them mf’s got a long way to go. They are a team with some pieces, but all their elite players are almost past their prime. Year 1 is probably the easiest to make the playoffs because after that the best players will be up for contract and the rebuild will begin if it hasn’t already. I look for Dlloyd to surprise some folks with a few shocking upsets, but I believe his roster will end up hindering him when he needs a play the most. I project Dlloyd to give me problems for ¾ of the season before I ultimately pull away. _Tbandit
Floor: 5-12, miss playoffs
I know Dlloyd loves his titans, but this roster is going to be a uphill climb to say the least, as of right now the Titans have a better roster than the Texans and Colts but when you talk about the most to look forward to?? The Titans are at the bottom of the d*** league. In year 1 me and Dlloyd are in the best spot to compete, but I just feel like in key positions like Qb and in the secondary he’s lacking dogs that will cost him eventually. The schedule is light but at some point, after dropping a few games I can see Dlloyd getting ready for that draft in April. -Tbandit
Jaguar
Ceiling: 11-6, divisional round appearance
Tbandit and his hometown Jaguars may be the early season 1 favorites to win the division heading into the cycle. The roster, not yet great, is poised to be great after some content and player development led by superstar QB Trevor Lawrence. Look for Tbandit to rise up over the rest of the division while they spend season 1 figuring out their schemes and rosters in a very raw division roster wise. -Arod
Floor: 8-9, miss playoffs
While the opportunity is there to hit the ground running as his peers figure out how to use Richardson, Willis, and Young, Tbandit comes out flat and doesn’t take advantage of his very own developed gunslinger. We’ve seen him fail with Josh Allen in this past cycle, so struggling with Lawrence isn’t such a wild thought. I do think the ceiling is a far more realistic scenario than the floor. -Arod
Texans
Ceiling: 12-5
Last cycle Keraun showed us he can complete with PMLs best both on the sticks, and team building through content. I do believe that Ke can take this division year 1, and could even make some moves in the playoffs, but I don’t see Ke competing for the SB quite yet. After S1 the Texans will look to vastly improve with their draft capital and seemingly endless cap room. -Bubba
Floor: 7-10
Keraun found a lot of success with the Ravens last cycle, but this Texans team is much more of a project, and most noticeably at QB. Rookie CJ Stroud will make it difficult for Ke to run the same offense he did with Lamar. I don’t think this floor is very likely, but if Keraun struggles to adjust to a massive downgrade at QB, I can see the losses start to pile up. -Bubba
